Caterpillars

Did you know that caterpillars hatch in four or five days? A caterpillar's only job is to eat and grow. Their bodies are divided into thirteen segments. The first segment is the head with twelve tiny eyes. The next segment of their bodies have three pairs of legs with claws. Along the sides they have a line of breathing holes called spiracles.

I got my information from CREEPY, CRAWLY CATERPILLARS.
